    Study Notes

    Information Age

    • The 21st century has seen a rapid shift from traditional to a digital economy, similar to the Industrial Revolution that led to industrialization.

    Early Information Age

    • 1945: Fremont Rider introduced miniaturized microform analog photographs that could be duplicated for library patrons.
    • 1965: Gordon Moore observed that the number of transistors on a microchip doubles approximately every two years, known as Moore's Law.
    • 1980: Computers became smaller and less expensive.

    Digital Revolution

    • 1995: Nicholas Negroponte published "Being Digital", highlighting the similarities and differences between products made of atoms (physical) and bits (digital).

    Media Types

    Primary Media

    • Newspaper
    • Radio
    • Television

    Secondary Media

    • Internet
    • Satellite television
